Mars has a thin atmosphere. Would that also not mean a small amount of protection? (More than Lunar orbit)

Was more thinking about the transit. In mars the suggestions seem to be covering bases in regolith due to the minimal protection from the very thin atmosphere.

Note earths protection comes from a combination of atmosphere and magnetic field.
